Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
All software is routinely scanned using the Whitesource vulnerability scanner during the development and QA process.

The company has a Secure Development Policy that describes required methods of version control, secure coding standards, how test data is handled, third party components etc.

The company does follow and test for the OWASP Top Ten online vulnerabilities. Members of the QA team are tasked with ensuring online test suites are current with this list at all times
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
